I do some online assistance grant writing for an animal rescue group and they know it depends on my health how I can contribute. I cannot go places as it is hard to sit and my Dad and Sister are six hours away. I am on disability and our financial support was cut in half because I could not work anymore. My husband shops for groceries, washes the clothes and when I can, I have someone come in to clean. I have my animals who love me unconditionally. It would probably help to be on an anti-depressant. Talk to your doctor about it. I self talk a lot and have had Glasser, Reality Training and you are okay to cry. I watch TV and try to keep my sense of humor. I am trying to force myself to start doing one thing at a time as I do no associate with people much anymore as it is exhausting. Just know you are not alone and talk to your Doctor about it. Good Luck. Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
